New member checking in from Las Vegas, very happy to have found PitBull talk.

Here's some history for you, I like most people believed in all the bad press that pitbulls receive, that is to say until my son brought home an abandoned puppy from the UNLV campus. After a family meeting and I lost the vote big time wanting the dog removed immediately my life has changed forever.

I couldn't imagine a day without IZZY has she was named.

Later I rescued Hurky, a bully that was going for a sure death sentence to the pound.

Both of my dogs are current with shots etc.

Anyway I have come to love these dogs like my children, I'm pretty sure I will never be without one. I wish I could save them all.

Everyone says I'm a manly kind of guy but when it comes to pitbulls I am mush, I admit I cry like a baby when In see some of the things on the net and the damn TV shows.

I LOVE Vegas. I thought of retiring there, but I can't take the heat in the summer. (And don't tell me 'it's a dry heat' ) It is HOT. My friend has a home in Henderson and tells me it's only a few months of 'dry heat'.

As a local, I know you don't hang out on the strip, but have you ever seen Carl Ferris (aka Safe Sax) play on Fremont Street? I LOVE HIM, too. I bought all his CD's.

Oh, I guess I should say something about dogs, so how did you find PBT?

Hello and Welcome to PBT. I have an Izzy too. Well her name is Kinzyl but her nickname is Izzy. We love pictures so I hope you have some to share. You can go ahead and place some in your intro thread and then once the moderators come along and give you access you can post some in the gallery.

Hello and welcome!! I am a former pit bull despiser myself and went through the same thing when my boyfriend insisted on getting a pit bull puppy. Now I'm in and can't get enough of them! I like your pictures!
